It Happened One Autumn Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

What's happening? Why is it happening? How is it happening?

It's a draft of my web novel. I'm afraid I'll become inconsistent if I saved only on my pc. So, I'm uploading it here for accountability. So, Bear with the rough format for the next 100 chapters. I'll refine it after reaching 100 chapters while uploading it once a week. The goals are:- • Maintaining Consistency Over Perfectionism. • Learning about this field (as it's my first time writing my own web novel.) • Enjoying the thrill of creating a draft without worrying about any sort of refinement. Cautions:- • It can be overwhelming with the fast pacing. • It's supposed to be a chaos - comedy - meta - realistic type of genre. (It's one of its kind, I know. That's the goal.) • Typos. I'll do my bare minimum to correct typos. But, I don't think I'll be focusing that much of editing right now... • A future where I may just stop without any warning (I'd hate to add this one, but who knows if I'd still be alive the next day...) Theme:- It's supposed to be a writer becoming too self aware that his characters are out of his control, from the start. The story is supposed to unfold right before the eyes as now the writer do not have any way of knowing what's happening and why and how it's happening? Warnings (again):- • I'd hate to say it again, but the pacing is fast at start... I'll try to control it as I learn how to... • The typos are too obvious. I'll refine it as much as I can, but I feel like I'm losing my voice and personality in the words, if I correct it too much... Request:- Kindly Review and Comment. I might require your genuine feedback. ---- That's all. Enjoy The Ride!
